Living in a Socialist City: Urban Strategies in East Germany

Living in a
Socialist City is an
online exhibition that explores the strategies used to
communicate socialist ideas across media and public spaces as well as the
citizen responses to their urban environment. This virtual exhibition is
organized around five themes: Marketing a
Socialist City, Marketplace, Public Spaces, Private Space and Social
Experiences.

The exhibition was curated by five students from the
University of Leipzig (Richard Bachmann, Jonas Kühne, Sabine Küntzel, Jochen
Krüger and Felicitas Teschler) in collaboration with five students from Loyola
Marymount University in Los Angeles (Elizabeth Hedge, Julianna Herrera,
Jaskeerat Malik, Ashley Noehrbass and Nolan Rivkin). These students
participated in a month-long museum studies workshopat The Wende Museum in 2010.
